i was considering adding a kg sw to my office setup since I'm using 2 kg 1.2s as the mains speakers. I'm not quite sure how to power it though? I'm using a JVC 817rx as the receiver. Do I run the mains speaker cable to the sub then out to the kg1.2s? Or would I need a separate amp altogether to power it?

I used Watco on them... is that similar to howards?

I came across this page and was curious if anyone has had good results using this method on a dark water stain/walnut finish: http://www.thomaspenrose.com/diy_stains01.htm Here's the problem area on top of my kg 1.5:

Must be original, have good corners, and blemish free! Found a near perfect pair on eBay but just missed out on them... Im definitely willing to drive to Tennessee, northern Alabama, or further depending on condition!

They're going to need a bit more cleanup than the craigslist ad let on. I'm going to try some basic wood cleaners but I may have to sand the bottoms... Turns out they are walnut and very close to the kg 4.2s I'm looking at in color...

Those are the ones! I'm picking them up from him Monday;)

I have not - I have read a number of reviews and people seem to really like them I'm picking up the KG 1.5s Monday and have also read good reviews about those. The ones I'm grabbing have light wear... I have read all about the crites upgrades on them an may explore that later on

Thanks for the replies and welcomes guys! I'm grabbing the 1.5s for surrounds on Monday and am considering the 4.2s as mains for a living room... the more I toggle back and forth the closer they look so I think it is just a lighting issue. The seller of the 4.2s has yet to get back to me on the official name but I think they are listed as "oak oil" Regarding the 4.2s - I have yet to come across another pair in my more recent search with a veneer like that in the KG series. They look closer to my old pioneer CS88s... was that an uncommon finish in those? Most of the ones I'm coming across are stained oak or black vinyl...

Found a pair of kg 1.5s locally and also a pair of 4.2s from a separate seller... Without the benefit of seeing them in person before buying I'm trying to figure out if they are the same color or if lighting is causing them to appear different? The 4.2 brochure color selection suggests this is walnut based on the colors offered that year: http://i21.photobucket.com/albums/b270/firebird1999us/22586D8E-4AA7-4BBC-821F-CDBFC09EE14B.png_zpst9jz1x34.jpeg The owner of the 1.5s lists these as light oak: http://i21.photobucket.com/albums/b270/firebird1999us/CB60D98B-D2C1-41FB-BDD6-4EDF39E3FDE3.png_zpsnqjj19cr.jpeg Any ideas?
